A senior in high school, this was his first appearance after being cleared to play on Tuesday. He broke his foot in December and has been living for this moment ever since. He hopped around for month with a cast and crutches, slogged along for another month with a walking boot, and spent the last few weeks trying to remember not to run, jump, dance, etc.
